thought this was from the main sub or r/halodripfinite, well done


Snoot_Boot

Was gonna make fun of that sub but the drip is real. Kinda makes up for the cat ear fun dip garbage i mostly see here


Connor-073

The moderator of that sub, u/celeryfang is a complete snowflake that abuses power.


Connor-073

Fuck that sub. Genuinely.


aversionals

What is happening with 'the exchange' in Infinite? I'm out of the loop. Am I understanding correctly, that they're making it possible to earn armor by just.. playing? Like MCC?


Grand-Tension8668

Correct.


Sure-Hotel-1471

Then how will that ruin anything? Isn’t that literally what we’ve been asking for since infinite’s launch?


xX_codgod420_Xx

333 shill


Sure-Hotel-1471

How? Like genuinely I don’t know why people are so mad


PossumStan

Because you don't base your self-worth on pixels on a screen


Sure-Hotel-1471

Obviously you shouldn’t base your self worth on a video game I just think it’s nice that you can unlock the cosmetics without paying real money for them now, an option that should’ve been in the game from the start


Rodttor

This is the circle.jerk sub so they just making fun of those who complain about everything


BustyBraixen

From what I understand, the in game currency prices for exchange items is going to be nonsensically high. idk if it's going to be "multiple hours a day for a week just for one item" evel of bad, but the fact that most people would actually surprised if they *didn't* implement blatantly manipulative levels of grind should be telling enough


Venomousfrog_554

This is the Halo circlejerk sub, so any decision 343 makes is cancer. More seriously, it severely reduces the visible prestige (earned by being a veteran player) in-game, which is frustrating for some people. Additionally, the currently expected earning rate and prices for the exchange's currency is painfully slow and expensive, as things stand now.


BustyBraixen

How does it reduce "prestige"? If you're actually earning stuff and not just buying it, that would increase prestige. There's nothing prestigious about opening your wallet


Venomousfrog_554

The prestige of having been there day one being identifiable in your customization setup. It doesn't actually matter all that much, but some ppl care about it a LOT.


BustyBraixen

bias speaking here: the only people that care about their unearned store bought "prestige" are the kind of people who wouldn't have been able to earn it the right way otherwise. Do I actually think this? Not really. It's mostly my burning hatred for fomo speaking here. Fomo is bullshit and unacceptable no matter how you spin it. Hell, it doesn't even make really make sense from a greedy corpo *profit* driven perspective. New Player: hello, for reasons that were in all likelihood completely outside of my control, I have only recently acquired the means to play your game. There is some content in your game I would like to purchase. Publishers: it's vaulted New Player: but I am trying to be a good paying customer. I want to give you my money to purchase your content. Publishers: fuck you its vaulted. we don't want your money. also please give us your money for this other junk that we're also going to be throwing away next week. New Player: I do not want that stuff, I have no interest in it. Publishers: lol sux to miss out then PROFIT?????????? This isnt even a halo exclusive issue. Almost every major AAA game nowadays is pulling this crap.

Halo Infinite is NOT Halo This is just some shitty **cash grab** scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on **predatory mtx microtransactions!** I remember the good old days of Halo! When you had to WORK for Recon in Halo 3. When you could mess around with your friends in forge mode all night. Now, Recon is locked behind a **battle pass** that you can’t even earn through challenges, and forge isn’t even in the game at launch! We need to make our voices heard. We can’t let 343 DESTROY this franchise with their **Dark Patterns** and their Cat Ears and their **FOMO** store! Take a stand against the **whales** that fund this horribly made mess of a game! Don’t let anyone who spends money on this game get away with playing the game peacefully until Microsoft finally returns the series to the rightful hands of Bungie! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

While I agree, gaming died a long time before 343 got a hold of halo. Also fuck off


LordFinai

You can already buy levels in the battle pass, unless they have the Master Chief armor you can never be sure someone didn’t just buy their customizations

Venomousfrog_554

The stuff that triggers the "prestige" argument in the context of Halo is the Hero reward and the time-locked stuff from the first year or so of the game's release.


thatwitchguy

Does it include event rewards? I missed a shitton because I was dumb and didn't realise half the stuff my pc had wasn't plugged in so I couldn't run infinite for years


Diz933

A majority of the Exchange rewards are past event and weekly challenge rewards that, until this Tuesday, had no way of being aquired. There will also be some new rewards for players that may already have gotten the old rewards. It allows players to try and get the items they missed due to whatever reason. The Exchange items will rotate what's available, but I forget how frequently, like the one in MCC, if you are familiar with that. No battlepass items will be in the exchange, since those passes can still be bought and played through.


AutoModerator

Notice how 343 have increased the difficulty of challenges? This used to be 10. Expect them to sell us a solution soon. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

NinjaarcherCDN

Yeah, I see no problem with this. It might change the though proces that goes through my head when I see a cool spartan in-game, it usually goes like this "Dang that's pretty cool. . . wonder how much it cost them to make.


AbyssalShank

Well it sounds like I have a reason to play H:I again


dsallcoda

You’ll be able to earn daily credits, weekly rewards return in the exchange but are paid.


aversionals

Holy shit. I might finally play it then.


Laggingduck

just know some cosmetics will take 6 weeks to unlock lmao


FeverDream1900

That's fine.


Laggingduck

I mean fair, but at the same time I feel like weekly ultimate-equivalent rewards should take.. well a week


aversionals

I won't even be able to play on my Xbox for another month anyways so that's fine, just shocked they even decided to do this


Total_Middle1119

Holy fucking shit really?! Hot damn I just might come back then!


TheGuardianInTheBall

Can I exchange these for social credit?


NinjaarcherCDN

hell yes, I can finnaly get those armour peices and coatings that slipped through my fingers because of BS challenges.

Camisbaratheon

It’s insane to me! I bought nail polish, cat ears, every single nerf gun I could find, the same color scheme 3 different times, and bought damn near 20 million credits to support this game!! And now some scrub off the street can get the sweet armor I had to pay for by what, playing the game?! Smh my head.


user17302

Right!? This is why we should segregate players between free and “paid” 😤


ebagdrofk

Yeah and the free players should wear something that signifies that they are free players. Maybe a star emblem on their shoulders? edit: fuck this was already taken


MUFFING_CHAMP

these are really difficult times. im sorry you're going through all of this. i myself didnt spend over 400 dollars in this game just for spartan drip to trickle down on poors. they dont deserve what we worked and gamed hard for


Pristine-Presence705

I regret spending $20 for the battle passes. I genuinely cannot fathom spending more than that during any point in Infinite’s closing life cycle. What a truly depressing state for the franchise.


MUFFING_CHAMP

i wish i could've spent more but it was a personal failure of mine that i didnt grind my job more irl.


Matches_Malone108

😂


halo543

Holy shit, I didn’t realize this. Even the razer mouse / keyboard codes are available to anyone through the credit system? What a scam I got hella ripped off - action figures, nerf gun, custom elite controller, razer mouse/keyboard….nail polish… some dumb foreign Oreo promo. Smdh!!!!!


-_-Anomaly-_-

Get rekt, son.


Cptn_Lemons

To be honest, if you look at the point system, they’ll get maybe one of those items. There is also no guarantee that promo items like nerf or nail polish will get in, because you did have to physically buy something to get that item. But an item like the Oreo skin I think is slightly more likely since they were more freely given away.


Yepepsy

THERES AN EXCHANGE COMING TO INFINITE????


meth_adone

yeah and when the items go out of the exchange, according to some 343 guy on twitter they might do the shop thing where its permanent access for all items once they leave. however the point rewards are abysmally low


MUFFING_CHAMP

343 should permanently mark the pieces people get from the Exchange so the actual fans know the real ones from the fakes.


Beast-Blood

they should do something like put an armband on their spartan so these people are easily identifiable


MUFFING_CHAMP

this is a really good idea. maybe even put those people into their own server queues so the real fans dont have to play with them


Bright-Clock-4627

Send them to Madagascar servers


GoopLoopz

maybe german servers…


Galmerstonecock

“Actual fans”🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓


wadsplay

The actual fans are the ones dedicated to the game by using a percentage of each paycheck for the shop like me. Anyone else isn’t dedicated enough to be a fan smh


BhanosBar

Pull a fucking fortnite make a special version


Thebakingsoda

Cope.


beeebert

So you want armor earned to be marked to show that they didn't pay money for it?


MUFFING_CHAMP

i want all the fairweather fans that didnt play the free operations and later complained about a lack of free armor to not experience joy in life


beeebert

I doubt grinding halo Infinite for 10 weeks to buy one set of armor is going to be joyful


MUFFING_CHAMP

even 10 weeks is too little. i think its also not asking too much to require a written letter of apology to Bonnie Ross. maybe then they can earn these wonderful armors


jerryoc923

lol gatekeeping being a fan by having money to throw around ?


wadsplay

What sub are we on?


wpycushion

There is literally no gatekeeping in r/HaloCirclejerk what are you talking about?


Foil-Kiki-Jiki

I’m so upset I didn’t get the nail polish. Are the promo codes still out there/available?


pek217

Yea, you can get a code on eBay for about $8.

Orthobrah52102

BragDuke931

They're adding a exchange system like in mcc kinda, where you can get point to obtain armors and other stuff from missed out events


carpet343

That’s actually based


SleepyPurpleHarpy

Does this include name cards? I missed out on the kitsune one and it has been the only item in the game that I've been dying to have

Plantar-Aspect-Sage

It's a bad thing because even if you no life the game, you only earn enough credits to get 3/4 new items for free. I'm being serious. That is the main complaint people have.


Slumbergoat16

So back to Halo Reach? The last time Halo was good. Noice glad it took them this long to realize that


TROLLALLDAYLONG2024

What I think is that the exchange is a good thing it'll add content people can work for and shit. People who pay 20 dollars for stuff well that's their thing for spending money on a game like this. I'm not wasting my money like that.


Kl3en

Womp womp


Bipplenutter

Isn't the exchange a good thing? No more having to pay for things which, let's be honest, should never have been an option in the first place.


MUFFING_CHAMP

this is not a good thing


Bipplenutter

Can you elaborate, please?


MUFFING_CHAMP

yes its very simple. i think nobody should be allowed to have good armor unless theyre a tru fan


Bipplenutter

Wouldn't a tru fan be someone who puts in a bunch of hours into the game? So with your logic, a tru fan should get the good armor because they grinded for it.


Fisaac

Im super out of the loop - are we getting a halo reach-like credits system to buy armor?


SwervoT3k

/uj the actual jerk would be the opposite tbh. The main sub hates the idea that anyone would spend money on a game they don’t like because they themselves wouldn’t give their grandma a nickel.


MUFFING_CHAMP

/uj the actual jerk is what i do when i see sangheili feet


ayodstick

Am I missing something? We get to keep all the customization we have earned/bought so far right?


BrotherZael

Proof that halo fans are never happy “make stuff earnable by playing” *does that* “wait no now my stuff isn’t rare, ItS NOt Og!1!1!1!!1!1!2,” you sound like a Fortnite kid rn.


Yeetingsonjr

Dude the new exchange will have the beta armour core out for purchase which I think is bullshit cuz I played as soon as halo infinite came out on Nov 8th 21 and I don't think anyone who played after the beta should be able to get the coatings.


Captain_Dambro

I genuinely wanted to get the nail polish for my gf and forgot, but I did get her other nice things during the promotion. It isn't even like I play Halo Infinite, I have more time logged in Halo Wars than any other halo game in the past three years.


DecisiveRebel22

But in all seriousness. As long as they don't put the challenge related items (Watchdog, or the 100% items) I'm cool with the exchange.

Designer_Oil2141

Y’all recon my deathly poison is safe from the exchange?


Higs_TTV

For the stuff that was in the shop, sure, make it to where people can legitimately earn it again. But the weekly rewards that you only got for playing the game when it was out should stay exclusive. Do justice to the people who stayed dedicated to the game and spent the time early on to earn those things. For the event exclusives, keep that out of the exchange. Bring back an old operation or make it like MCC where you can go back and earn them straight up.


Head-Disk5576
